I know I mention book covers often, but seriously - SWOON! Outdrawn is a sapphic, rivals-to-lovers, workplace romance between Noah and Sage, both comic artists.

The main characters are pretty different, each with their own insecurities, goals, and ambitions - but together they strike the perfect balance. This is definitely a slow burn, but from the start I was rooting for both of them to succeed and get their happily ever after.

the romance was sweet, but i'm just not a big fan of the writing :(( also loved the side story surrounding their family problems and the resolutions!!

Sapphic enemies to lovers who are comic book artists?! I mean, what more can you want?
Noah and Sage had such fun banter with their "rivalry" and I love that they brought out a playfulness in each other, when both are usually described by others characters as serious.
Their love story was beautiful, with discussions of bisexuality and biphobia, burnout and the importance of romantic and platonic relationships. 
They worked so well as a couple and I loved how they supported one another.

Cute romance of rivals to lovers. Both characters are artists competing for best comic. The characters felt fleshed out and had their own stories.

I recommend reading it with one's eyes instead of with their ears. I might have rated it higher if I had.
